as posted by the channelSocial Media Meltdown Over Newsom “Can’t Read” Remark. Y’all Got It Wrong
A viral clip sparked accusations that Gavin Newsom insulted a Black audience. The full context tells a very different story.
After a clip of California Gov. Gavin Newsom saying he scored a 960 on the SAT and struggles with dyslexia went viral, social media erupted with claims he was insulting Black people in Atlanta. Roland Martin broke down the full context, showing the event was largely a white audience and that Newsom was describing his own academic struggles, not stereotyping anyone. The segment calls out racial assumptions, reaction culture, and the rush to outrage without verifying facts.
